This weekend saw one of the best college games of the season if not ever when Texas came to Tech for a face-off. It was #1 against #7 and it was a great match-up. It was one of those games where you know that there are going to be a lot of points scored, but you don't really know which way it is going to go in the end.
To be honest I really wasn't sure that Tech had a chance to win, but I did expect them to keep it close. And did they ever stay close with the Longhorns. They were so close in fact that they were leading at the half 22-6. They were clicking in the game and seemed to be able to move the ball at will. It was amazing to watch. Not only was the offense doing a great job, but the defense, so much improved over the last few seasons, was finding ways to stop the Longhorns. Other than really two big plays on offense, they seemed to hold them in check. It was amazing. And Michael Crabtree made a man sized play on that final touchdown of the game. With 8 seconds left he grabbed the ball, shrugged off a tackler, stayed in bounds and sprinted the last five yards to end zone with one second left showing on the clock. It was rather beasty really. That kid is good if you hadn't noticed. Final score 39-33 Red Raiders.
Congrats to the Red Raiders. After the huge upset, they have jumped to number 2 in the BCS standings behind Alabama and ahead of Penn State. This week they get the Cowboys of Oklahoma State. Should be a good match up as OSU has put together a fantastic season. This also offers a match-up of two of the top wide receivers in college football in Crabtree and Dez Bryant. That should be be a great match up there. It is an exciting time to be a Texas Tech fan it would seem.
On a slightly different note, I read a report today about some fans getting scammed at this game though. It was people who showed up looking to score tickets late, and were willing to pay folks who had some for sale there at the gate. According to the report, around 500 folks forked over some cash for fake tickets. That really bites dude. A Tech official commented on this saying that the fake tickets looked like regular tickets, but the bar codes would of course not work. I hate to hear that, not so much because they missed a great game, but because they had their money taken from them. I guess that is just another reason to get your tickets ahead of time. Peace and Love y'all.
